Breakfast for slimming breakfast should takeapproximately half the calorie content of the daily ration and consist mainly of proteins and carbohydrates. Such a dense food intake will speed up the metabolism, relieve the desire to eat something sweet and fatty throughout the day, and in the long term will help not only lose excess pounds, but also consolidate the result. In the study, organized on the basis of the clinical hospital in Caracas (Venezuela) under the leadership of the American doctor Daniela Yakubovich, 96 young women suffering from obesity participated. Half of the participants in the village on a diet with a daily ration of 1085 kCal and a minimum amount of carbohydrates. The energy value of breakfast in this group was only 290 kcal, and it was mainly proteins and fats. The second group also received a very modest daily diet - 1240 kcal, however, with fewer fats and a greater proportion of carbohydrates. But for breakfast here was allocated 690 kcal (including 58 grams of carbohydrates, in contrast to 7 grams in the first group). Four months later, the results in the first group were more impressive than in the second: here the ladies lost an average of 28 pounds, as opposed to 23 in the second group. However, four months later the situation changed radically: women from the group with a meager breakfast returned 18 of their lost pounds, and in the group with a hearty breakfast, weight loss continued and averaged 16.5 pounds. Thus, women from the second group lost an average of 21 percent of their body weight, while the result of the first group was only 4.5 percent. According to Dr. Yakubovich, the participants of the study, who started the day with a hearty breakfast, practically did not experience acute hunger during the day, thanks to a sufficient amount of carbohydrates in this meal: "Most studies on the problem of excess weight, prove that low-carb diet is not the best way to lose weight. It only aggravates the carbohydrate thirst and slows the metabolism. As a result, after a little progress, the kilograms return. " Previously, British researchers have found that people who start the day with a hearty breakfast, in five years, add to weight is not as significant as those who are accustomed to dispensing a cup of coffee with candy in the morning (even if the total caloric content of the daily ration of the first more than the second). Skipping the first meal causes us to eat more at lunch and dinner - and since the metabolism slows down at large intervals between meals, the body does not have time to process much of the eaten day and evening and puts it aside. In addition, the lack of a normal breakfast for many leads to multiple lunch snacks chocolate, cookies, buns and donuts, which also affect the figure and overall health is not the best way.
